Heung Min Son Tottenham
Harry Kane believes that the way Jose Mourinho has set up his Tottenham Hotspur side is responsible for getting the very best out of him and his partnership with Son Heung-min. Following Spurs’ 2-0 victory against Arsenal, in which both men scored, Son now has 13 goals and six assists in 17 games, while Kane has a staggering tally of 14 goals and 12 assists in 17 matches. Assisting each other on Sunday meant that the duo have combined now for 31 goals in the Premier League, second only to Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard with 36.
Harry Kane said “We’re just feeling good. Understanding each other’s game well. The way we’re setting up is suiting us, [Against Arsenal] it was an easy pass and he had a fantastic finish. We’ve got a good understanding but it’s the same with everyone on the pitch. The way everyone works and moves allows us to create that space. So we’ve got to keep it going. There’s still a long way to go I’ve had seasons when we’ve been top for a while but it’s a long hard race to be there at the end. We haven’t quite done it over the last few years but we’re just taking each game as it comes. Results like we’ve got [against Arsenal] and obviously City a couple of weeks ago will only help us, so we’ve just got to keep it going. We play well on the counter-attack, we’ve got fast players. We’ve been clinical when we’ve got our chances, I think the second half we wanted to play better, we wanted to play better on the ball but sometimes games, situations you have to adapt and Arsenal pressed well. They won the ball back in our half and we couldn’t quite get out, but we defended well. I can’t remember them creating too many chances, but that’s what you’ve got to do. Sometimes you just have to defend and sit deep and soak up the pressure.”
